RE: cold air intake
ORIGINAL: Jimmyk88
I'm new to the forum, just got my Challenger a couple of weeks ago. What a car, I love it.
I'm currently looking for a cold air intake but can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Just do a search of this site and you will find all kinds of information on the different CAI's out there.
You can also do a search on the web and you will find more vendors......

I had hoped Mopar or someone would have manufactured the concept version of the K&N CAI that rested on the radiator support. It removed any of the loss in the tubing, was cool looking - at least orignially was tied into hood scoops via underhood ducting.

RE: cold air intake
I just got my R/T 6 spd last friday......I'm thinking about either the C&L intake or the Mopar one. I'm leaning towards the C&L because it uses the stock air box to isolate the filter from the hot air coming off the engine....any suggestions?

I got the C&L CAI and think it looks great(matches engine intake). I also like the fact it uses the same air box, and when customized, takes fresh air in from the front grill. Can't go wrong with this set up!!

RE: cold air intake
i just installed the K/N kit, looks cool under the hood, however I am just waiting on the custom poiping I have made so it could be painted to match the color of the car, it will break up some all that black piping under the hood.
All in all the K/N does give the car a throatier sound when accelerating. I was impressed with the sound alone, I paid $321 inclu taxes and it took less than 25mins to install, was very easy,

70Cuda,
Did you notice any difference with intake/exhaust sound or throttle response? I too like the fact that it uses the stock airbox to isolate the filter...did it bolt right up ok or did you have to mod anything?

RE: cold air intake
Did not have to mod anything but the stock box. C&L recommends to cut out the front part of the stock airbox to let more cool air in from the grill. You can choose to do this or not, I did. I could not tell any difference in sound or response because I installed my ZOOMERS exhaust at the same time. So it was a big change all at once.

RE: cold air intake
Thanks for the info, it was a toss up between the C&L and the Mopar one...I'm gonna go with the C&L, just need to save for it now. Maybe I should give people rides in the Chally and charge them for it...or maybe I'll tell my wife to impose a 5 diaper limit on the kids per day....
